This was very helpful. Thanks so much. I’m using Magento 1.6 and I was able to pull this off by doing what payal setiya suggested (although his code did not show up in his post). In CMS>Pages>Home>Design I pasted the following code in the Custom Layout Update XML box:

Then all I had to do was copy the Login.php file to my local path, comment out the suggested head update, and I’ve got a login block on my home page.

Thanks again!

We can do same through our admin panel too. where simply we have to go to cms->pages->home page->design
and simply paste

there , and you can see the login form on your home page.

But your tutorial really gave a depth to reach there:)

Thanks a lot..

Hey! How do I call the email and password boxes individually?

What I’m trying to do is just add the 2 boxes + a log in button inside the header

Thank you in advance

Hi Adam,

This one isn’t working for me. Followed every step but I’m not sure where to place getChildHtml(‘right’) ?> as I think that will be the solution of the mini login not working.

Could you tell me where you placed the last line of code?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Shaun, when I wrote this it was for version 1.3.x.x

These days, you’ll need to check your base/default folder for the files you require.

Hi Rob,

Me again.

It would also be great, if the customer after logging in was returned to the page he was on, rather than being bounced to an account page.

Thanks,

Ann.

Hi,

This is great and even for a newbie like me easy to understand and implement. Well done!!!

I have two questions though:

1. The login box shows up at the bottom of my right column and I would like it at the top

2. Could you add a register button to this beside the login button?

3. When logged in – it would be great, if the customer would see a logout button in the same location

I hope that you will find these suggestions interesting, too and that you will implement them.

Many thanks,

Ann.

Hi Koen,

Yes it’s absolutely vital that you do it the way you suggested – especially as Magento does seem to upgrade every 3 months. Keeping all the core code definitely helps save headaches when upgrading your sites.

Thanks for visiting!

I think for keeping the core of Magento as-is you should copy:
app/code/core/Mage/Customer/Block/Form/Login.php

to:
app/code/local/Mage/Customer/Block/Form/Login.php

But nice info anyway
